Can only import non-iTune songs

I have a new XP computer and want to import via CDs from older computer. Do not get import option for CD with iTunes songs, but do get it for non-iTunes CDs. Apple documentation says transfer of iTunes to a certain number of authorized computers is legal up to a certain amount of copies, but I can't get it to work even once. Can anyone help

I have the same issue it seems. I have the MP3 on the desktop and then drag it onto the music library of itunes 7. I did see the file appear for a moment but then disappeared.
I also tried puting the MP3 file into the itunes music library to see if it would show up but still not luck.
It appears to be a bug. I do hope that Apple Programmers are onto this issue.

  • Can't import .m4p iTunes song to a diff appl

    I bought my first song from iTunes, and it has a .m4p extension. I can't import it into a different application (read iPod rip-off). Songs with .wav, .wma and .mp3 can be imported. Advice?

    .m4p means it has Apple DRM (copy protection) on it. You can play it in iTunes or on an iPod.
    Similar to how you cannot play a .wma file in iTunes or iPod because it has Windows DRM on it.

  • Ipod only plays non-itunes songs...

    Anyone else have this issue or know how to remedy it? My ipod skips every song EXCEPT for those I did not download on my itunes, rather had sent to me via email or uploaded from a CD. What on earth? Email me, if you have any ideas/suggestions... thanks!

    First, make sure you've played these purchased songs in iTunes before you transfer them to your iPod.
    If you've done this and they still skip, de-authorize the computer in iTunes/Advanced menu, then to re-authorize it. You do this by playing one of the songs purchased from the iTunes Music Store in iTunes. It should ask you for your Apple ID and password, then the computer will be authorized again. Sync you iPod with iTunes, and those songs should play again.
    Another common cause of this is not having the latest version of iTunes (4.9).

  • I have some audio files on my previous phone which I would like to export to my new iPhone 5. I am told that you can only import files from iTunes. Is that true? If not, how do I import files from my phone - or my Macbook pro laptop-to my phone?  Thanks!

    iTunes will only import music from your phone that was purchased from the iTunes store.  To transfer music from other sources you have to use 3rd party software, such as PhoneView.

  • Help, I can't import my CD songs to itunes for Windows

    Help, I can't import my CD songs to itunes for Windows.
    My computer crashed. All my songs on CDs were titled by numbers "01", "02" etc. So I have many songs on various CDs titled "01" for example.
    When I've tried to import various CDs, it seems like the different songs having the same names are confusing itunes, and my song tracks are getting mixed and muddled.
    What can I do? Thanks for any help.

  • HT204406 My upload to the cloud seems to have frozen during an upload of a non-iTunes song.  Any recommendations would be appreciated.  Can I come back at a different time and continue the uploads?

    The process of uploading to the cloud on iTunes Match has frozen during the up load of a non-iTunes song.  There are several more to go.  I've stopped the upload.
    1) Can I resume the upload at a different time?
    2) What happened?  I don't think I've exceeded my space limitations.

    Remove the song in question from the sync list and see if the rectifies the problem.
    If it does, then iTunes believes the song no longer exists on your drive and that will need to be corrected.

  • #1: Hundreds of non-itunes songs no longer play on laptop or iPod Touch! #2: How to recover music from a broken laptop to put it on my new one?

    Old problem that has never been figured out: I had hundreds of songs on my old laptop before itunes, some of them downloads from years ago and some of them ripped from CDs. After getting an ipod touch a few years ago, I put all 900 and some of the old songs plus new ones purchased from itunes on the ipod and played them for a long time (year or 2 probably?). Now, all of the sudden the non-itunes songs are grey on my computer AND ipod, and I am not able to click on them or play them. Why is this?
    New problem that I will be severely p1ssed off about if it can't be resolved: Previously mentioned laptop with all of the music on it stopped working, so I purchased a new laptop and now, the only songs that show up in my newly downloaded itunes are the purchased ones. No music from old downloads, no music from CD's, and no playlists created on my old computer. Only a list of the songs that I purchased directly from itunes. I no longer have all the CD's that funded my 950+ song collection and have no way of getting that music (or the downloaded music) back if I can't access the broken laptop. What do I do now?!

  • I want to play music from my playlist when I am using slideshow of my pictures in Ipad,  but I can only choose ONE SINGLE song, and it continuously repeates itself.  Is there a way to play the complete playlist while showing my pictures?

    You can start the playlist playing in the iPod app and then switch into the Photos app and start your (non-music) slideshow - as you've found out you can currently only select a single track in the Photos app. Whether that will change in iOS 5 I don't know, but you could try leaving feedback for Apple : http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html

  • HT204053 if i synch iPOD to iCLOUD and have songs stored in iPOD that were not purchased from iTUNES i assume a synch to the cloud will erase my non iTUNES songs? i tried this last year & this happened already & forced me to reload many songs. any solutio

    i have music purchased on my computer that is from rhapsody & napster in addition to what i bought from iTUNES. if i synch to the cloud i assume i will lose my other non iTUNES music if i synch my iPOD and computer to iCLOUD? this already happened to me last year and forced me to reload from CDs my other non iTUNES songs back into my computer! anyone know a way around this dilemma? my computer now has almost 900 songs & i fear if i synch my iPOD to my computer and synch to iCLOUD i will get a repeat of losing my non iTUNES songs once again! i have not turned on my iPOD or synced it to my computer for many months! huge hassle to recopy songs from CD & maybe it is best to sign into iCLOUD to back up my newly purchased songs and then exit iCLOUD and then synch my iPOD to my computer and then synch without going into the iCLOUD scenario? i do not know and really need help on this. please answer in simple terms?

    I had this problem too after i upgdatd to OS X Mavericks... only the songs on my iphone 5s that i purchased from itunes would play.
    i read something about it being a syncing issue. when you plug your phone into your computer with the usb cable, the person said to switch from automatic syncing of itunes to the "manual" option. mine was already set to manual so i wasn't sure anything would work. BUT, when i plugged my phone into my computer, it started to sync all of my music on my phone again (top of itunes bar where song playing/time is listed said "now syncing 123/534 songs to x's iphone"). once that was completed, i checked the music app on my iphone and everything was back to normal!
    so, i would suggest setting your music syncing settings to manual if you haven't tried that yet!
    hope this helps!

  • I can only access the itunes library if i plug in my external hard drive.  is there a way to add the music to my internal hard drive?

    i can only access my itunes library if i plug in my external hard drive.  how do i find where the itunes songs are on my external hard drive and how do i move them to my computers internal hard drive so i no longer have to have the external hard drive plugged in?

    When the drive is connected, use the Organize Library command in iTunes. If the entire library is located there, drag it to the internal drive, launch iTunes with the Shift key held down, and point it there.

  • I am having problems importing some CDs into iTunes on a laptop with Windows 8. Most CDs import without problem. The ones I can't import can be imported into iTunes with Windows 7. Does anybody know why this problem is occurring?

    I am having problems importing some CDs into iTunes on a laptop with Windows 8. Most CDs import without problem. The ones I can't import can be imported into iTunes with Windows 7. Does anybody know why this problem is occurring?

    First-off, this seems to be a general problem with 10.4 (across all the operating systems of which I am aware).  Unfortunately, I cannot provide a permanent solution but, if you need a quick fix, this will (hopefully) work for you.
    For some inexplicable reason, iTunes no longer recognises standard Windows paths.  For example:
    Y:\Music\Buddy Holly\Buddy Holly - Rave On.mp3
    The end result is that it will import a playlist with no content. 
    It will, however, recognise the equivalent Apple paths which look like this:
    file://localhost/Y:/Buddy Holly/Buddy Holly - Rave On.mp3
    It is possible to convert your existing playlists using a few basic replace commands in something like Notepad.  In my case, I made some code changes in my music manager and now generate two sets of playslists (one standard and one to accommodate iTunes).
    Forgive me foir stating the obvious but please remember to make sure that the disk / path containing your music is accessible when doing the import otherwise you will probably get a blank result.  Note that you can do a bulk import by selecting all the (revised) playlists and dragging them onto the iTunes sidebar.
    I am sorry that this is not a "clean" solution but it will work if you are in a bind.  The only alternative of which I am aware is to wait for Apple to fix the problem.

  • Apple TV 2 G - Can only see a few songs in my library, can't see any Movies

    Just bought the Apple TV. I thought that once I setup Homesharing that I would be able to see my entire iTunes library including music and movies. Thus far I can only see a few songs.
    I have updated my iTunes to 10.2 and checked for software updates on the Apple TV, but get the same results.
    I am able to start playing a movie in iTunes and then select Apple TV from the list of devices at the bottom right corner of my iTunes library and it will then it will play on my TV, but if this is how I need to play every movie I'll be returning the Apple TV.

    when I navigated on my Apple TV to Computers > "My iTunes Library" at the top of my TV displayed some of my music. I did not realize that I had to click on the "My iTunes Library" to get more option. Once I clicked on "My iTunes Library" I then saw all of the media options and all the music and movie titles. Can't believe it took me this long to figure out.
